United were licking their wounds following a 6-0 drubbing at Cappielow the previous week. Out to atone for this the Tannadice side and Rangers set a cracking pace. Both teams had close shaves with McCloy perhaps the busier of the two keepers. Referee Webster was quick to clamp down on any nonsense and Alex Miller became the second player to be cautioned.
Fyfe and Stein both passed up great chances for Rangers and the Ibrox men opened the second period in similar fashion, so it was no real surprise when they did take the lead. A Fyfe cross was headed away, but only to the feet of Alfie Conn who lashed the ball home from just inside the box. Only four minutes later Fyfe put Rangers two in front when he capitalised on a mixup between Stuart Markland and Donald Mackay, enabling him to nip in turn the ball into the vacant net and put the match beyond United's reach.
